Need help certain mp4's will not encode in idvd

i am working on an idvd project. i have 5 mp4 files and two of them encode fine. the other three say they are done encoding as soon as they are dropped into the project even though no encoding is taking place. so when i go to burn the dvd it says there are encoding errors and cancels the process. all 5 files play fine in quicktime. and in the preview mode of the dvd. but for some reason will not encode. i have 25gb on hd so i know there is plenty room to encode. could someone help me resolve this issue.
thank you

Good morning...I too had the problem and tried what was suggested in here ie: going to library file then preference...blah blah blah. It might have work 4 others but not with me. I even called apple techs and gave me almost the same solution. The tech informed me to bring it back to the store...but I will have to pay since I do not have an Apple Protection Plan. I was almost tempted to bring my new 8mos old MacBook back to the store and was ready to buy the Protection plan for a whopping $250+ (good for 3yrs) or for a one shot deal(one service)of $50, until I got myself an idea and iDVD now working and encoding with ease.
Here is my suggestion:
1. Back up all the files that is important or you like to an external hard drive or time machine or burn your files as data on a cd/dvd or back them up in sd/usb etc as long as you will be able to recover those files.
2. Once you have backed them up...Insert the cd (you're supppose to have 2cds that came when u bought your Mac) that says Mac OS X install CD or I believe in the older version CD 1. Follow the instructions when u r prompted. Get your manual if u have to...YOU HAVE TO CHOSE ERASE (COMPLETELY) HARDDRIVE...that's is why it is a must to back up files firsts before doing this step. Be patient as your computer erased your hard disk completely and reinstalling it.
3. Once program reinstall follow the prompt messages. Mac will ask you basic infos...just fill them up. After that...insert the 2nd CD (Application CD - houses your iLife - in it are the iphoto imovie iDVD etc. Again, be patient!
And that's it....idvd should be up and running smoothly. I tested it myself and I am able to burn on dvd almost every file ie... .mov .mp4 .m4v etc. Some files has to be converted ex. avi file (Windows) to a format that Mac/iDVD will accept.
I hope this helps.
PS: Whenever you are burning movie, do this action alone (burning) as it takes a lot of power/energy on your MAC. Burn and leave it. I got into this mess because my Mac was burning movie and I was multi-tasking on my Mac. It's a big NO - NO.

Need help, Photoshop Elements 11 will not open anymore.

I have Photoshop Elements 11 and will not open anymore, it hangs up on initial window with credits & version info. I tried everything I can think of, shutting down all the background programs, windows update, uninstalling & reinstalling the Photosphop. I am able to open the Adobe Photoshop Editor and I even updated the Adobe from Editor to see if that would help but no luck. Anyone have any ideas?

You say:
it hangs up on initial window
but then:

Does this mean the problem is with the organizer? If so, hold down the shift key when starting it and try creating a new catalog in the catalog manager that should open. If that works, go back to file>manage catalogs and try repairing and optimizing your real catalog.

I need help. My Firefox will not stop doing this even after i reinstalled. I will shut down firefox and when I open it back up it shows the previous website.

Please Help. This is starting to anger me. I Reinstalled and everything.

You should update your outdated Firefox 13.0.1 version to the current Firefox 17.0.1 release.
I'm not sure what you mean.
Do you mean that Firefox always opens the web pages that were open when you closed Firefox even if you set to open with the home page or a blank page?
Make sure that Firefox closes properly and that there isn't a hanging Firefox or plugin-container process left in the task manager.
*"Hang at exit": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
*"Firefox hangs when you quit it": https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+hangs
Use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox Profile Folder that store session data.
Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder

Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

Need help, E535 Windows 7 will not start

Ok, this has happened twice now, first time was Jan. of 14 about a week after I bought this thing for my daughter to use in college. Just happened again ( after warranty expired ) and now I have to try and get this thing running.
Machine is a E535, purchased Dec. 2013, Product # 3260FKU, Serial # MP42840 running Bios HHET75WW ( 2.08 ) Bios release date is 10/24/2012
Machine just goes to black screen says loading windows files, then pops to the thinkvantage technologies screen and startup repair, it does its repair thing, and says click finish and repeats the process.
I did click on the diagnostic and repair details and past all the junk at teh end, it says root cause found system volume on disk is corrupt.
Repair action: File system repair ( chkdsk )
Resut: Complete successfully, error code 0x0
time taken = 16 ms
From what I have been able to determine, I need to rebuild the boot directory?
Please be kind to me, I am a dummy when it comes to this stuff.
How do I fix this, and more importantly, how do I prevent this from happening again?
Thanks in advance!

I believe so, when I put the recovery media in, it asked if I accepted the Lenovo terms and then said all data would be lost, it started recovery as soon as I clicked yes. It did ask what type of a boot partiotion? I clicked the recommended one, QRt or something like that?
Anyway, the discs from Lenovo are for Win7 64 bit, which is what I was told the machine was, and the part numbers for the discs are as follows.
Labelled 1 ( 3 discs )
1 of 3 DVD P/N SR30A20610
2 of 3 DVD P/N SR30A20611
3 of 3 DVD P/N SR30A17703
Labelled 2 ( 2 Discs )
1 of 2 DVD P/N 0B78414
2 of 2 DVD P/N 0B78415
I am running it again, just to see if something acts different..
I did note they said something about making sure the BIOS was set to always or both after recovery, was there something I was suposed to set before I started?
Do you see anythign I did wrong?
Thansk for any help you can give, I need to get this thing up and running for her college work.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture.

Certain music videos will not play in iTunes. The music plays fine but not the video. No picture. Same with the iPod. Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

Your Touch is working correctly. Currently, without unsupported third party hacks, the Touch has NO disc mode. It will only show up in iTunes.
how do i put programes and games in my ipod touch
Right now, you don't. The SDK is scheduled to be released in Feburary. Then developers will be able to write programs that will be loadable.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

I would like to remove a short gray edge from two images. I need help in that I am not yet able to use PhotoShop. Could somebody kindly help me with this?

I would like to remove a short gray edge from two images. I need help in that I am not yet able to use PhotoShop. Could somebody kindly help me with this?

I doubt it Doc Maik, but I am certainly happy to learn The image is this one (and a similar one). They would be beautiful portraits if not for the "extra mouth". The grey edge that I would like to remove is the excess of (grey) mouth that is actually my horse's chin, but that in the pictures looks like a wider, looping mouth. Practically, looking at the picture, the "extra mouth" to the left. What I would love it to be able correct that to look like a normal mouth, which means that half of the protruding edge should be removed. I am not sure I was able to explain myself, but here is one of the two pictures. I thank you for you kindness in being available to advise me.

Certain flash movies will not play - including Adobe TV movies with Dreamweaver tutorials

For months, certain .swf movies will not play. No error, won't even load the player. I thought it was because of IE8 which I installed several months ago. Now I loaded Firefox and Opera and the movies still do not play in those browsers either. At least I get an error message "TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference".
I have newly installed Dreamweaver CS4 and when I launch it, there are links to Adobe TV videos. These will not play. Here is an example of a video that will not play: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/inside-the-dreamlabs/dreamweaver-cs4-live-preview/
I have googled the error but the results seem to be developers talking about code in Action Script 3.
Can someone please help? I have spent hours trying to get this resolved.
My Flash Player version is 10,0,45,2 and I had the issue when I was at 10,0,32 whatever as well.

Ya, it's a very old post. This forum actually has a very high response rate (more than 90%+) thanks to people like Pat, Carl and Xircal who volunteer their time and knowledge to help the community.

Hi can anyone help my slot drive will not take cds its as if its locked shut

hi can anyone help my slot drive will not take cds its as if its locked shut

If you cannot insert any CD or DVD at all and there is no CD in that drive, then the mechanism might be defective. I've had that and Apple replaced the drive under warranty. To find out, I'd suggest an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar for a free diagnosis - if it needs repair and you're out of warranty, they'll tell you how much it would be (in that case, an external burner might be less expensive).

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.
